This listing is for 100ml of pure 50% AHA Glycolic Acid Skin Peel.
I am an industrial formulation chemist by trade and have derived a pure grade of 50% Glycolic Acid which uses pharmaceutical grade glycolic acid and pure distilled water as the only ingredients. There are no chemical preservatives or additives. A chemical peel is a body treatment technique used toimprove and smooth the texture of the facial skin using a chemical solution that causes the dead skin to slough off and eventually peel off. Glycolic acid is one of the naturally occurring fruit acids derived from sugar cane. These fruit acids are generally called AHA (AlphaHydroxy Acids). It is the smallest member of the AHA family. Glycolic acid is known in the cosmetic industry for its line treatment with blemishing reduction properties. The peel removes the upper epidermis layer of skin, to reveal healthier looking skin. Glycolic acid skin peel can be used for the treatment of;
Fine Wrinkles
Acne
Areas of Dryness
Uneven Pigmentation
Blackheads Whiteheads
Rough & Dry Skin
Large Pores
Ageing Skin & Wrinkles
Rosacea
Psoriasis
Actinic Keratosis
Directions for use
First Timers - It is advised for first time users to begin with a lower strength 10% Glycolic Acid treatment. Initially cleanse the skin with a suitable cleanser / toner. Take a cotton pad and dampen with the solution. Apply the damp cotton pad to a small area of the cheek and wait 1-2 minutes, and then wash with plenty of warm water to remove the peel. Then access your skin tolerance for this % of Glycolic Acid skin peel. There should be no redness, burning or formation of blisters during the treatment. If this is the case discontinue use as your skin type is too sensitive for the Glycolic Acid peel treatment. But, the skin can turn light pink during the peel process, after 48hrs the skin colour will return to normal.
General Procedure β Wipe a dampened cottonpad over the face with 50% Glycolic Acid Skin Peel. Leave for 2 mins then wash off with plenty of warm water. Repeat every week increasing the time period of the peel on the face by 1 min each time for a period of 6 weeks in total. After the 6 weeks it is advised to allow the skin to rejuvenate for at least 2 weeks before beginning a further treatment regime. After each treatment use moisturizer to ensure the skin does not dry out. During sunny weather wear the appropriate sunscreen to protect the newly exposed skin cells (SPF15 is recommended). During the treatment phase the skin will peel and appear flaky after 1-2 days after treatment. This is a part of the treatment removing the dead skin cells.

Health and Safety
I hold an MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) for compositions used in the formulation and it is available on request as a pdf file which I will send to you. All my products come with the appropriate labels indicating correct handling and safety.
Glycolic Acid should not be used when the skin is broken, inflamed or damaged (cuts and grazes).
